Do you dream of being a full-time travel vlogger with a large online following....but don’t know how to get there from where you are now?

Maybe you’re brand new to the world of travel vlogging and have yet to post your first video on YouTube.

You’ve dabbled in video editing and LOVE watching videos about the best street food in Vietnam...or the 5 must-visit beaches in Bali, dreaming about the day when that will be your reality…

....but when it comes to booking that plane ticket and pressing “publish” on your own videos? You’re terrified.

“What if I’m not good on camera? Or don’t have the right equipment” you find yourself thinking. You see how the industry is already so competitive and a part of you wonders if it’s even possible to turn your travel-vlogging dream into your full-time reality (So you procrastinate even getting started).

Or perhaps you’ve been travel vlogging for a little while now, but aren’t moving forward as fast as you’d like and are starting to get frustrated.

Your audience growth has plateaued and you’re struggling to figure out how to really MONETIZE your vlog so that you can do it full time. It’s your dream to be a full-time travel vlogger and you’ve been working your butt off, but you can’t figure out what you’re doing wrong/why it’s not working yet.

First of all, I want you to know that you’re not alone...and you’ve come to the right place!

Over the past 2 years, I’ve grown my YouTube channel from zero to 350,000 subscribers, and 32 MILLION views. I’ve been selected by Youtube as their NextUp 2017 Creator, awarded Shorty Awards Finalist under Travel, featured on ELLE, SFGate, Refinery29, and on TV across Peru thanks to a video I made playing with cats in the park.

I’ve travelled to 32 countries and worked with numerous companies and tourism boards around the world.

Now travel is my job. I create and share my travels for a living. And it’s the best job in the world.

But it wasn’t always like this. I didn’t start glamorous.

Two years ago I had an office job. I wasn’t working 9-5. I started my day at 5am to attend meetings Asia time, left the office at 6pm, and checked into a coworking space right after to work on a consulting business. I was working 5am to 10pm hahah is that even a thing?

But back then I thought everything was great...at least according to conventional standards! It was a great company, great pay, with a fulfilling position. It was a “real job.”

But there was always an inkling in me that the work I was doing didn’t feel quite right. It felt good but not right. Can you relate?

One day I was having quite a stressful week and a coworker made a comment that threw me into an emotional wreck. Everything that was bothering me, that was weighing me down just came POURING out. I ran into the bathroom and started bawling. In the middle of the day. I wasn’t even crying about the comment, I was crying because I didn’t actually love where I was. I was killing myself for something I didn’t believe in.

I took a couple of deep breaths, wiped off my tears, and walked into my next meeting trying to keep everything together.

That day I decided this isn’t the life I wanted.

And that it was time for a change.

Now you’re probably thinking, OK TJ this is where you quit your job to travel the world right?

No, this wasn’t it.

I needed to save a lot of money hahah...but something else happened.

I decided to get more serious about my creative hobbies: photography, video-making, and writing.

I stopped prioritizing endless hours of research, meetings, and things that didn’t get me excited to get out of bed in the morning...and started prioritizing things that did.

On the weekends - any free time I got, I would run out the door to go take photos. I began putting together travel guides on my website. It was SO exciting to share these little travel tips.

In the beginning there weren’t many people reading my stuff but I didn’t care. I was creating something fun, creative, but also helpful to people and this felt right to me. It felt like I was finally adding my own colors into the world.

It was by taking these small steps that I eventually gained the courage to say...you know what...I can put videos on Youtube and make this a thing.

I have learned a lot since those early days, but most of all: if you have a dream of being a travel vlogger it can absolutely be your reality.

"As someone who just started recently TJ’s Viewing to Vlogging course was perhaps the greatest thing I could ever stumbled upon. Within the first few modules I’ve learned tips and tricks that you wouldn’t find elsewhere. TJ had created a platform not only to learn but to interact with other travel vloggers including herself, it was truly an invaluable experience.

With all the lesson and tips from the course I planned my Hong Kong trip, my shots and scenes accordingly. Having just recently uploaded that fruitful episode I can already see that magic at work!

This a fun and exciting course and with it you'll gain a family who supports one another and I can’t wait to see all of us succeed, so Thank you TJ."

"Viewing to Vlogging has been a big help for our channel. Since enrolling in the course, our subscribers have grown to nearly 2,000, watch time has passed 4,000 hours and we have done some collabs with a few big channels. The lessons are presented in an entertaining and energetic way, much like TJ’s own videos. The tips and techniques are easy to implement, like writing lists of interesting facts to mention in videos.

The course Facebook group has been valuable with TJ giving feedback on a video every month and becoming friends with fellow up and coming creators who are enrolled. We have watched them grow rapidly along with us, which has been very rewarding. Having the wisdom of someone who has built a large and successful channel and the ability to go back and rewatch lessons at any time is well worth the price. "

"I absolutely love Viewing to Vlogging. I like the way the modules/videos are broken down into easy to watch chunks. I now realize I was missing a lot of details to make my Youtube game better and I learned a lot of things I could implement from the course. Plus, I really like that there's an emphasis on turning vlogging into a business and getting paid. A lot of important stuff is covered...TJ though of everything!"

"Viewing to Vlogging has been a valuable investment in my YouTube journey. Prior to the course, I had so many questions about YouTube that I couldn't find answers to anywhere. But, thanks to TJ, I have found the answers to several of them in the course, plus more.TJ makes the modules fun and easy to understand, and breaks everything down for you. I've learned so many little vlogging details that you wouldn't have thought of to make your videos better. She teaches you step-by-step how to get your videos seen, starting from the very beginning.

A huge bonus is that I've been able to connect with other vloggers through the course and feel like part of an awesome YouTube community. 10/10 would recommend Viewing to Vlogging :)"

"Having been a fan of TJ's personality on her YouTube channel, watching her obvious skill with video production, and seeing her success on YouTube...then finding out how much she hustles, all made me want to learn from her. The Viewing to Vlogging course was a perfect fit for me. I've been creating regular videos but not seeing much growth. I was looking for those little nuggets of advice from someone who is successful at it. That's exactly what this course is filled with! I always find it fascinating to watch other people work, so that module was perfect for how I learn. The SEO, money-making and pitching sessions made it all worth the value and much more. It's really jam-packed and fun to watch. I'd recommend this course for anyone who hasn't started their YouTube journey and anyone who needs a little coaching to make growth happen."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have lifetime access to the videos?

Yes! You have lifetime access to these videos so you can work at YOUR pace. You’ll also have access to any updates I create (Youtube is always evolving and I aim to keep this course as fresh and relevant as possible).

Am I guaranteed to grow a following?

Implementing the tactical strategies in the course will absolutely teach you what you need to know to grow a following. The speed at which you build an audience, however, is subject to many factors, and will vary student to student.

I want to start a Youtube channel but not in the travel category, can I still take this course?

Yes, absolutely! The course walks through valuable branding lessons, effective Youtube growth techniques, and business mindsets and practices that will guide you far in your vlogging journey, regardless of your niche.

I’m nervous about spending the money...how do I know if this course is right for me?

I get it, I’ve been there! If you’re serious about becoming a travel creative and starting a Youtube channel, this course is for you. I’ve taken my mistakes and turned them into lessons, transforming my own struggles into solutions for you. I’ve been right where you are today and understand what you’re going through - deeply.

How is this course different from others?

There is no vlogging, much less travel vlogging course out there that breaks down the entire process of branding a channel, creating content, optimizing for views, and actually getting paid to travel and make videos. This course includes everything I know about the travel industry and succeeding as a creative. It embodies my years of experience as a marketer and brand strategist. It's not just a creating course, it's a marketing and GROWTH course. Enroll in this course if you want to level up your Youtube channel with exclusive knowledge and proven tactics.

How many hours a week should I plan to spend on the course?

I recommend setting aside every Sunday for 3 hours to work through the course. Please keep in mind you will need to set aside at least 1-2 free days of the week to film and edit your own content.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, every student is entitled to a 7-day money back guarantee. If this course isn't everything you dreamed it would be, e-mail proof of completed assignments to [email protected] within 7 days of purchase to receive a full refund. But trust me when I say the first module is incredibly valuable, so is the second, the third and the last. Don’t miss out on this course!
